Eclipse Encoding MacRoman -> UTF8

You have some detailed explanation in this blog post by David HOLT for the WOLips/WOProject.

Check your default preferences:

Encoding in Eclipse preferences

In Eclipse, go to Preferences>General>Workspace and select UTF-8 as the Text File Encoding.
This should set the encoding for all the resources in your workspace. Any components you create from now on using the default encoding should all match.

Change the encoding for a resource (project, folder or file)

Right (or Control) click on the resource in the WO Package Explorer and select the Properties option at the bottom of the contextual menu.
Go to Resource>Text File Encoding.
You should see “Inherited from container (UTF-8)” if you’ve made the change above, otherwise it will be (MacRoman).
Select Other - UTF-8 and Apply to make the warning go away.
